The complete 2026 slate with rest edges and schedule context, the 2025 ledger, and the franchise record since 1999 — every number computed from the bundled nflverse game log.
The Denver Broncos enter 2026 off a 14–3 season. Their 2026 opponents went a combined 148–141 in 2025 (a .512 strength of schedule, 15 of 32 — the naive prior-year method, whose real forecast error is measured here). The calendar hands them a net rest differential of +3 days (12 of 32), with week 7 (+3), week 9 (-3), week 11 (+7), week 14 (-7); the bye falls in week 10, they play 1 Thursday game, and 2 of their final four games are divisional. The slate has 3 kickoffs at 7 PM ET or later and a longest road stretch of 2 straight games. Rest-edge context lives in the schedule-quirks explainer; the division picture is in the AFC West preview.

Final record 14–3, 401 points scored against 311 allowed (+90). Home 8–1, road 6–2. One-score games (decided by 8 or fewer): 11–2 — the split most likely to regress either way, per the Pythagorean explainer.
